For the first time since the publication of the Confessio Augustana in 1930 this volume presents an edited edition of the Confessionals of the Protestant Lutheran Church. It is based on new sources and the results of new theological and historical research. The texts are presented parallel in Early Modern High German and in the Latin original. The critical apparatus reproduces the various readings, and the commentary provides important information for our understanding of both the historical and theological background.
